yesterday I had a memory of a baseball field…as I continued thinking about it, trying to remember exactly where/what/when this baseball field was and then I finally remembered: it was a baseball field that I imagined while reading a kids book about baseball! I don’t remember the name of the book nor the story, but I know that this field in my mind does not exactly exist in reality…
now to my question: do you guys notice a similarity between what you imagine in your head while reading fiction and how dreams are made?..both are a hodgepodge of places & people from your waking life. when I read fiction most characters end up being combinations of people I know in real life (or famous people/other characters) and locations the same thing… but because it’s taking a little bit from here, a little from there, it’s a world that exists only in my mind… same with dreams…
I know I write in a very confusing way, I’m too lazy to spend time rewriting it (although I will as I write-write this as I further develop the idea)
your thoughts?
